babyphone?
 

what does the babyphone app do??

Re: babyphone?
 

It puts a dancing baby on the desktop.

There is a detailed description in the app manager. Basically it acts as a two way baby monitor. You can set the audio alert threshold and the N900 will listen for sounds from the baby. If the baby cries and alerts the N900, it will call a preset number (the parents number) and then you can hear the baby and come see about him/her.

I can imagine it for other uses too, monitoring rooms or the house, even pets.

I havent tried it yet but I saw it in the app manager about an hour ago.

anyone try it yet? is it safe, or will my n900 explode upon trying the app? :)

Re: babyphone?
 

It's safe and very useful. For me, of course.
It rings you when the noise exceeds the limits.

Re: babyphone?
 

I am glad that this app exists. It is really useful already.
But also, it is still very young. I think it could be improved in many ways, e.g.

• make the parent number selectable from the contacts database
• put the sliders for threshold on the main window so the user can see the effect of a changed value immediately
• even better: move the audio slider directly into the live audio graph as a movable ruler line
• on program startup time, set the values to an auto-adjusted value, depending on noise in the environment

I hope the Babyphone app will be actively improved...
and a big THANK YOU for providing this useful app for the N900!

What, you haven't bought a smartphone for your newborn yet? You should have set up a gift registry at Carphone Warehouse before your baby shower!

(*shudder*)

Re: babyphone?
 

Just wanted to register a HUGE THANK YOU to the developer of this incredibly useful and brilliantly well thought-out app!

Especially for the latest update which fixed the bug that was preventing audio monitoring from working properly -- it's working perfectly now :)

Re: babyphone?
 

Is it still maintained ? someone asked me for sources of meego packages so I updated some links at :
